You already got a number of replys but I decided to break my long-lasting
silence to throw a few comments.

On CK we have "There's food all over my face", (ie. my face is foody :),
translated as, if I remember correctly, {qabwIjDaq Soj tu'lu'bej}. Why
not follow the pattern?

I'm sure there's a word for cockroach (I think that's an animal), a small
vermin would be {ghew} and then there are the animals used in traditional
dishes, {ro'qegh, bIreQ, pIpyuS} (and even {targh}). And of course the
three "types of animals".
I think that besides {targh}, the {mughato} (native to Neural, though, I
think.) Is the only animal we know more of. It's a large white ape with
poisonous horn, if I remember correctly.
